Predictably, the UK’s far-Left Guardian is thrilled that authoritarian thugs defaced Pamela Geller’s AFDI ads calling attention to Islamic Jew-hatred in San Francisco buses. They either do not realize or do not care that once the principle is established that an unpopular group’s freedom of speech can be forcibly silenced, it can be turned on them: one day they may be in the group that is out of favor, and then they will regret the position they took against the freedom of speech. But at that point it will be too late.
Anyway, as these Leftist goons applaud the extinguishing of the freedom of speech of a group they hate, there are a couple of other points worth bearing in mind:
1. The AFDI ad features a real photo of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, meeting with Adolf Hitler. Al-Husseini worked energetically to aid the Nazi cause during World War II, exhorting Muslims on Islamic grounds in radio broadcasts to ally with the Nazis. The ad says, truthfully, that Islamic Jew-hatred is in the Qur’an. It calls for an end of aid to Islamic countries, just as numerous ads sponsored by Leftist and Islamic supremacist groups call for an end of aid to Israel.
In response to this, the fascist* vandals wanted to project a positive image of Islam. Very well. Did the plaster the AFDI ads with images of the Muslim Mother Theresa, the Muslim Martin Luther King, the Muslim Gandhi? No, they covered the AFDI ads with images of a Muslim fictional character. They didn’t have anyone real to posit against the truths the ad told.
2. Kamala Khan, the Muslima Marvel Comics superhero, was created by a convert to Islam, G. Willow Wilson (who is herself a fascist foe of the freedom of speech) in order to counteract negative images of Muslims — that is, the association of Islam with terrorism, which Wilson and other Muslims would like us to forget that Islamic terrorists, and not “Islamophobes,” are responsible for creating. And so how does she end up fighting negative images of Muslims? By forcibly silencing those she thinks are propagating them. Kamala Khan has never gotten much notice since she was created — until now. Now she is most famous as a tool of fascist thugs, on a jihad against the freedom of speech. It is peculiarly fitting that the Muslima superhero’s biggest, most prominent struggle would turn out to be an effort to silence forcibly those who say things that Muslims dislike: the Organization of Islamic Cooperation must be thrilled.
*Yes, the vandals are fascists. They are the children and heirs of the Brownshirts who shouted down and menaced foes of the Nazis in the early 1930s.
“Meet the Muslim superhero fighting bigotry on San Francisco buses,” by Andrea Letamendi, the Guardian, February 1, 2015 (thanks to Maxwell):
At the start of the year, the extremist anti-Islamic group the Freedom Defense Initiative purchased 50 controversial ads to be displayed on San Francisco city buses. The ads – perceived as out of step with the city’s largely liberal metropolitan community – called for an end to aid to Islamic countries and depicted a Muslim leader consorting with Hitler, essentially equating Islam with Nazism. In response to these Islamophobic messages, street artists affiliated with the Bay Area Art Queers Unleashing Power acted quickly to cover the ads with vibrant images of Pakistani-American superhero Ms Marvel along with comic-style blurbs trumpeting messages of equality: “Calling All Bigotry Busters,” “Stamp Out Racism” and “Free Speech Isn’t a License to Spread Hate”.
The bus art has been called “graffiti”, “defacement”, and “supremacist criminality” by some, but for an overwhelming majority the culture-jamming demonstration holds a powerful significance. For the first time ever, Muslim Americans have a visible, mainstream superhero they can call to arms. As a major Marvel character, Kamala Khan (Ms Marvel’s alter ego) stands alongside Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man and the X-Men. Her image is synonymous with her message: freedom of speech belongs to everyone. Ms Marvel comic co-creator and writer G Willow Wilson, a Muslim American herself, likened the bus art to a freedom of speech “call and response”, ultimately summing up her sentiments with a tweet that ended with “Spread love.”…

‘Bay Area Art Queers Unleashing Power’ wouldn’t be a *homosexual* group, would it ? Someone ought to send them some photos of what happens to ‘queers’ under islam, in many mohammedan countries. Fools.
Charli Main says
Mohammed of Islam has been shown, by contemporary Islamic sources, to have been a cross dressing, baby penis kissing homosexual.
Why, in present day, Iran he would off been strung up by a crane for un- Islamic behaviour. LOL !!!!!!

Richie says
The problem with many leftists is that their ignorance is so profound that its impossible to have an intelligent conversation with them- Ive encountered quite a few who didn’t believe that gays were executed in iran, and insisted gays faced more persecution by Christians, There was an article on Huffington Post awhile back by some clueless gay advocate who argued that gays on the left should see Muslims in the middle east as comrade in arms as both gays and Muslims ‘faced oppression by Christians’ . No way to penetrate that level of stupid
Beagle says
Yes, we have been assured by our gay friends that Iran does not execute gays and that sharia law does not punish homosexuality. That is “right-wing prooaganda” according to these gay experts on Islam.
What can you do? I sent some links from places like HuffPo documenting the execution of gays in Iran. Have not heard back for over a year now.
petey says
The first public execution in Canada of a gay man I will most definitely be there! Id like to ask the poor fool how this multiculturalism is working for him…hahaha. Even then the stupid libtards will look for other excuses
Richie says
The narrative framed by Muslims is that ONLY Muslims are the victims.
If they had any interest in stopping hatred, they’d stop their constant stream of hate speech about Jews
Bezelel says
Strange the vandals would use the word bigot. Websters says: : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.
(Bigotry) is the definition of the islamic mission statement and the vandals have adopted their bigotry towards anything that resembles normal. They could buy their own ad space. If Pamela were to go on youtube and fill a bath tub with milk and cereal (not likely) then the priority deficient miscreants would find something they could relate to.
Angemon says
So can we expect defacement of Charlie Hebdo cartoons?
Paul says
The Guardian has no credibility whatsoever in the UK, outside its smug
readership. In the past, Islamic supremacists such as Linda Sarsour and
Tariq Ramadan have contributed to the damned thing. Also, dishonest
Matthew Goodwin has written for them, as has the awful Laurie Penny,
an idiot who uses the word “racist” like there’s no tomorrow. Indeed,
Pat Condell was completely right when he said that Anjem Choudary
would be a perfect columnist for it, given the hateful nature of its
columnists, but they wouldn’t hire him for the sole reason that
he’s too honest.
catherine Campbell says
Maybe we should call for a boycott off Marvel Comics until they take legal action against this
use of one of their copyrighted characters!
Ayatrollah says
They know who vandalized the ads. So they can buck him right up?
Davegreybeard says
The perfect response to this would be to paste “STOP THE BEHEADING” over “Calling all Bigotry Busters.”
Leave our little cartoon Muslima in place.
Thoughts on this, y’all?

Not a bad idea. A white line spacer between her head and shoulders may accent the message.

If the police do not do their duty in arresting the vandals, they can be sued. Once they have had to defend themselves in court and LOST, they will be anxious to arrest future vandals!

“freedom of speech belongs to everyone”
Oh, the irony!
Steffen Larsen says
It really is very straightforward and simple.
The ones accusing others of “hate” are themselves often expressing their own notion of criticism, disagreement and dislike. It tells us that much about them.
And because “hate” to a large degree is irrational, they need not think of an explanation. The accusation is sufficient. Evidence, verdict and punishment. Much like “islamophobia” or “racism”.
Jay Boo says
Let’s give them credit for a great sound bite.
The use it where it applies the most — against them.

Perhaps Ms Marvel needs to be interviewed?
Reporter: “Ms. Marvel, what do you stand for?”
Ms. Marvel: “I stand for the worldwide freedom of speech and respect for all true religions.”
Reporter: “How do you promote freedom of speech?”
Ms. Marvel: “I write what I have to say everywhere I like.”
Reporter: “Why do you write your messages on top of others’ messages?”
Ms. Marvel: “Because then I don’t have to pay for the advertising space–it’s FREE SPEECH!”
Reporter: “So you also respect all other religions?”
Ms. Marvel: “I respect all TRUE religions, of which there are many, but they are all called Islam. All other religions are lies and must be wiped out to show respect for all true religions.”
Ms. Marvel: “Now, Mr. Reporter, it’s time for you to put on the orange jumpsuit…”
TheBuffster says
Freedom of speech. Does it mean vandalizing – completely covering over – a message paid for in a public space?
No. It’s a type of theft of the money paid for the use of that space. If you think the paid-for message needs to be rebutted, you *rent* a space nearby and rebut it. This is how you respect freedom of speech as well as property rights. This is how you show you’re serious about living in a free society where people’s right of dissent is respected and protected.
However, since the poster pasted over the paid-for message is trespassing, it is perfectly legit to paper it over with something that turns that space back to the benefit of the rent-payer.
patrick roy says
I hope that the ads can be re-posted. San Franciscans in particular are very dense people that need to be educated out of their moronic prozac haze.. The public need really simple messages and statistics. Pamela’s campaign could benefit from a statistic-led bombardment of shocking messages – frankly the campaign just looks angry in itself. The text and the imagery don’t have a clear enough message that the dodo dhimmi public can digest.
How about a bunch of scary stats that cannot be refuted. Like a Did you know? campaign.

The artwork on Geller’s ads is also not great, she needs a better graphic designer. Pam, Robert, if you need help with your work, reach out I have good contacts.
All the best

In Britain there are figures from polls showing just how much support there is for sharia and jihad among Muslims but the three statistics which say everything I need to know about our future are:
Muslims comprise 5% of the population in Britain.
Muslims comprise 10% of the population under 5 years old.
There are more British Muslims fighting against Britain for IS than are fighting for her in the Armed Forces.

4: 1 O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All Watcher over you.
9: 72. Allah has promised to the believers -men and women, – Gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein forever, and beautiful mansions in Gardens of ‘Adn (Eden Paradise). But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah. That is the supreme success.
43: 17. And if one of them is informed of the news of (the birth of) that which he set forth as a parable to the Most Beneficent (Allah) (i.e. of a girl), his face becomes dark, gloomy, and he is filled with grief!
3:195 So their Lord accepted of them (their supplication and answered them), “Never will I allow to be lost the work of any of you, be he male or female.You are (members) one of another, so those who emigrated and were driven out from their homes, and suffered harm in My cause, and who fought and were killed (in My cause), verily, I will expiate from them their evil deeds and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise); a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.”

WHO R DENNY RIGHTS OF WOMEN
4 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence (1 Timothy 2:11-12)
Lev 21:9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
Old Testament:
The pain of a woman during childbirth is God’s curse because of Eve’s transgression (Genesis 3:16).
A man can sell his daughter and she must not go free as male slaves do (Exodus 21:7)
A woman who saves her husband from an attacker, but touches the private parts of the attacker, must be shown no pity and have her hand amputated (Deuteronomy 25:12).
The daughter must receive inheritance if there is no son (Numbers 27:8)
New Testament:
1. Women must never teach or have authority over a man, because according to the Bible, Eve sinned first and not Adam (1 Timothy 2:9-14)
2. Wives must obey their husbands, like they obey God (Ephesians 5:22, Colossians 3:18)
3. Women are to be silent in church as it is forbidden for them to speak in Church and they must be obedient. If they had a question they must ask their husbands because it is a shame for women to speak in Church (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)
4. Men are the head of women just as Christ is the head of man (1 Corinthians 11:3)
5. Women must cover their heads in prayers and if they do not they must shave their heads (1 Corinthians 11:5-6)
Men are the image and glory of God, while women are the glory of man (1 Corinthians 11:7)

Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has made one of them to excel the other
quran 2:228
Divorced women remain in waiting for three periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation. And due to the wives is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them
